(Fm)
By the rivers dark
(Eb) (Fm)
I wandered on
(Dbmaj7)
I lived my life
(Eb) (Fm)
In Babylon
And I did forget
My holy song:
And I had no strength
In Babylon
(Ab) (Bb6)
By the rivers dark
(Fm)
Where I could not see
(Db) (Eb)
Who was waiting there
(Fm)
Who was hunting me
And he cut my lip
And he cut my heart
So I could not drink
From the rivers dark
And he covered me
And I saw within
My lawless heart
And my wedding ring
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me
By the rivers dark
I panicked on
I belong at last
To Babylon
Then he struck my heart
With a deadly force
And he said, "This heart:
It is not yours"
(Db) (Eb)
And he gave the wind
(Fm)
My wedding ring
(Db) (Eb)/db
And he circled us
(Bbm7) (C) (C7)
With everything
By the rivers dark
In a wounded dawn
I live my life
In Babylon
Though I take my song
From a withered limb
Both song and tree
They sing for him
Be the truth unsaid
And the blessing gone
If I forget
My Babylon
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me
By the rivers dark
Where it all goes on:
By the rivers dark
In Babylon
